It says it's shipping now for anyone interested. Anybody want to be a guinea pig step right up. LOL. Too bad they aren't easy to return like buying normal things. Then it wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah...please do. I'm interested in this new software they are talking about, and whether or not it works with PogoShell, since they relied almost SOLELY on that program to push their earlier carts.

I bought one, I'll let you guys know after I get a chance to test it out.
Hey awesome. I feel like sending this guy money. I won't, but still feel like it. Hehe. No I am sure it will be fine and that most of the problems other cards have had will be worked out by now. This late in the game they really know what users expect, hopefully they catered to that instead of just adding gimmicky features like the buttons on the front.

What size did you get by the way?

Actually I did get a 1Gb. I don't know exactly when it's going to be here because I don't think there's any tracking on airmail....

Anywho... sending me money sounds like a good idea!

There's something I'm not really sure you guys have considered, something I thought not too long ago... How much is an EZFA 256? 100... and a F2AU 1024 ? 250 ... If you would pay the same price ratio per meg as you do on a EZFA, it would be only a 625 megs... However, as it is now, you pay 2.5x for 4x the space! Doesn't sound too shabby when you see it this way...

Then consider the other things, such as the lower battery consumption...

Actually, it's not too shabby at all. I just (1) Don't have $250 laying around and (2) want to hear about other peoples' experiences with it first. I don't trust F2A at all. I'll have to know that it can do what other modern carts can do (WITHOUT POGOSHELL) before I think about buying one.

Yeah I don't really think price is the issue at all. Though that price comparison doesn't really work. The added expense in going from 256 to 1gb is only in the addition of 3x256mbit chips. The cartridge, packaging, and everything else stays the same. Sure there is R&D and stuff that would need to be implemented. But the price of a 256 chip is probably very minimal to the total one pays for a 256 mbit card. Especially now that it has been so long that they have been out.

Anyways, I don't think price is the main issue. It is software. Everyone has come to realize now that software is what makes or breaks these devices. We used to think it was hardware (and to some degree it was, bugs, crashes, etc...) but now that those problems have all been worked out for the most part it is software and support that really makes the card worth the money.

Also one more point about the price, it really isn't a price per size comparison that shows the trouble with the $250 price point. Obviously in that area the user wins big time. But the problem I have with it is a price per actual value comparison.
i.e. Is 1gbit really worth the extra expense?
Will it make my life that much easier using my gba?
Can I really use all that space?
If I can use it all, is it important that I do so?
Would I rather buy a gba, gamecube, and a game for that price?

Questions like that are more relevant in this case I believe and will be different for every person.

"The Real Time Save Function can be used after the games have been patched. Games patching program would be released later. "
(From the Success Site)

Does this mean that RTC is not on the cart itself like the EZFA?
